Well, we are smack-dab in the middle of a 'lil 'ole blizzard here in Chicagoland. We have had at least 12" of the lovely stuff dumped on us since 7:00 this morning. Whoop-de-frickin-do! After this storm blows over into Michigan, we are supposed to get more on Friday. Can I hear another "Whoop-de-frickin-do"?

I hope all this snow raises the water levels of the Great Lakes!

I'm going to leave you with a few jokes about our favorite subject - snow:

How do snowmen travel around ?By iceicle !

What sort of ball doesn't bounce ?A snowball !

What do snowmen wear on their heads?Ice caps!

What's an ig?An eskimo's home without a loo!

What do snowmen eat for lunch?Icebergers!

Where do snowmen go to dance?Snowballs!

What happened when the snowgirl fell out with the snowboy?She gave him the cold shoulder!

How do you know when there is a snowman in your bed ?You wake up wet !

God bless weathermen, er, I mean meteorologist (excuse me). People just jump all over them when they are wrong. Not me. What was supposed to be a "little snow - 'bout 1-3 inches" turned into, oh, about 10-12".

This morning I got Michael ready for pre-school, kissed DH goodbye (he can "work from home" whenever he wants and we were off! The roads were a little yucky, but nothing that my Santa Fe can't handle (I love my S.F). I finally got to work...hmmmm...the parking lot is pretty empty...got in, booted up my pc and hit the Outlook button....at 7:50 a.m. there was an all employee email - THE OFFICE IS CLOSED and WE GET PAID FOR IT! WOO HOO HOO! I ended up working until 10:30 and left but I'm glad that I stayed because I was able to get a lot of busy work done without interruptions.

I stopped at Target (ALONE) and wandered aimlessly up and down the aisles. There was no one there. All I need to buy was a birthday gift for one of Michael's friends. $64.00 later. Then I stopped at Wendy's and picked up lunch for DH and me. I love their chili. I watched Martha Stewart's show - she was pretty funny, especially with the guy who was making lots of yummy drinks for a SUPER BOWL party. The mojito one looked yummy!

So now I am multi-tasking - doing laundry and surfing! Have a great weekend.
